Abstract

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive lung disease characterized by severe fibrosis and poor prognosis. We aimed to reveal to different radiological findings of IPF and to describe a different perspective on the complexity of diagnosis. We retrospectively evaluated patients with IPF between January 2015 and April 2019 in the Department of Pulmonary Medicine, VM Medical park Samsun Hospital, Samsun, Turkey. Totally 51 patients were included in this study; 35 (68.6%) were male and 16 (31.4%) were female. The mean age was 70.8 years (min, 50-max, 86). The mean FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC were 1970 ml (53%), 1860 ml (63%) and 94.4%, respectively.
